  2. Equivalent radius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equivalent_radius

    US hat size is the circumference of the head, measured in inches, divided by pi, rounded to the nearest 1/8 inch. This corresponds to the 1D mean diameter. [1] Diameter at breast height is the circumference of tree trunk, measured at height of 4.5 feet, divided by pi. This corresponds to the 1D mean diameter.

  3. Sphericity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sphericity

    Two parameters are shown: sphericity (vertical) and rounding (horizontal). Sphericity is a measure of how closely the shape of an object resembles that of a perfect sphere . For example, the sphericity of the balls inside a ball bearing determines the quality of the bearing, such as the load it can bear or the speed at which it can turn without ...

    Open from top by definition so that the wetted perimeter consists of the 3 sides of the duct (2 on the side and the base). D H = 4 a b 2 a + b {\displaystyle D_{\text{H}}={\frac {4ab}{2a+b}}} For the limiting case of a very wide duct, i.e. a slot of width b , where b ≫ a , and a is the water depth, then D H = 4 a .

    [25] [26] The standard FIFA football pitch for international matches is 105 m (344 ft) long by 68 m (223 ft) wide (7,140 m 2 or 0.714 ha or 1.76 acres); FIFA allows for a variance of up to 5 m (16.4 ft) in length in either direction and 7 m (23.0 ft) more or 4 m (13.1 ft) less in width (and larger departures if the pitch is not used for ...

  6. Dimensional analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensional_analysis

    By assuming a form of Coulomb's law in which the Coulomb constant k e is taken as unity, Maxwell then determined that the dimensions of an electrostatic unit of charge were Q = T −1 L 3/2 M 1/2, [15] which, after substituting his M = T −2 L 3 equation for mass, results in charge having the same dimensions as mass, viz. Q = T −2 L 3.

  7. Ready-mix concrete - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready-mix_concrete

    Batching and mixing is done under controlled conditions. In the UK, ready-mixed concrete is specified either informally, by constituent weight or volume (1-2-4 or 1-3-6 being common mixes) or using the formal specification standards of the European standard EN 206+ A1, which is supplemented in the UK by BS 8500. This allows the customer to ...

  8. Radius of curvature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radius_of_curvature

    In differential geometry, the radius of curvature, R, is the reciprocal of the curvature. For a curve, it equals the radius of the circular arc which best approximates the curve at that point. For surfaces, the radius of curvature is the radius of a circle that best fits a normal section or combinations thereof. [1] [2] [3]

  9. Eurocode 2: Design of concrete structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocode_2:_Design_of...

    EN 1992-1-2 deals with the design of concrete structures for the accidental situation of fire exposure and is intended to be used in conjunction with EN 1992-1-1 and EN 1991-1-2. This part 1-2 only identifies differences from, or supplements to, normal temperature design. Part 1-2 of EN 1992 deals only with passive methods of fire protection.
